Rarely does Cameron Curet take a play off in a Costa Mesa High football game.
He runs the ball, catches the ball, kicks the ball, punts the ball, returns the ball, intercepts the ball, deflects the ball, and tackles whoever has the ball.
There aren'...

Q: How did you first become interested in helping bereaved children?
I knew nothing about grieving children, or the need to support them prior to my own personal tragedy. In 2000, my husband, 7-year-old son and I were involved in a head-on...

Richard Baker, 39
Exec VP, marketing and distribution, FilmNation Entertainment
Take one self-described nerd, mix marketing expertise gained at the Edinburgh Intl. Film Festival and the Weinstein Co., and hire him at FilmNation to oversee marketing plus distribution on Benedict Cumberbatch starrer "The Imitation Game." Result? A record $7 million purchase of "Imitation" by TWC at Berlin for the likely Oscar contender. Title aside, Baker is a jack of many trades, having shaped the studio's brand and art-...

When it premiered on September 23, 1994, "The Shawshank Redemption" barely registered at the box office. The prison drama opened at No. 9, below the odious sex comedy "Exit to Eden" and just above Robert Redford's "Quiz Show," already in its fifth week. Though nominated for seven Academy Awards, the film failed to connect with audiences and vanished from theaters with little fanfare. And then, slowly but surely, its fortunes began to change. On its 20th anniversary, here's how "The Shawshank Redemption"...

**1/2 (out of four)
Two activities in “The Maze Runner”—fighting to stay in a circle and considering climbing a very tall wall—reminded me of “American Gladiators,” which made me think of “American Ninja Warrior,” which makes me wonder how long it will be until that show’s turned into a movie. Hollywood is starved for ideas, and these YA adaptations can’t last forever. Can they? They can’t. Please.
Until then we have “The Maze...

"Forrest Gump" came out 20 years ago and it created something of a sensation. It won the Best Picture Oscar, and Tom Hanks won for Actor in a Leading Role.
That was an amazing year for American movies, and to tell you the truth, I would have preferred to see "Pulp Fiction" or "The Shawshank Redemption" take the top prize. For a while, that fact caused me to underestimate "Forrest Gump," to make me think of it as less than it really is.
It wasn't until a few years ago, when I watched it with my...
